Dream
On

Genre:
Contemporary Romance
Deep
in the heart of Texas is a small town where secret wishes have a
funny way of coming true . . .
With
a nine-year-old daughter, an overdue light bill, and a job slinging
burgers while zooming around on roller skates, Cassidy Roby is not
living the glamorous life. But Cuervo, Texas, has its charms: quiet
streets, loving family, and the down-home familiarity of knowing
which of your neighbors are mean as snakes. With Cassidy’s
reputation, she knows what will happen if she steps a foot out of
line. But how can she help it now that Mason Hannigan’s back in
town?
As
Cuervo’s high school quarterback ten years ago, Mason was all
rock-hard abs and yes-ma’am manners. Now that he’s living the
glitz and glory of the NFL, he’s all that plus a couple million
bucks. The desire blazing between them is too hot to hide. Cassidy
has some experience getting her heart broken by the hometown hero—and
having the whole world watch her try to pick up the pieces. Will
adding fame, fortune, and paparazzi be a playbook for disaster—or
lead to the biggest adventure of her life?
Cassidy spotted Mason’s car parked in front of the Double Aces Bar & Saloon and braked hard enough to skid. She froze, petrified that he might see her and think she was stalking him. Of course, he would go there with his friends. Not much else to do in a town this small. She could easily imagine the reception they’d gotten from regulars who’d watched every game on Jimmy’s big screen. There were a handful of women who sometimes hung out there, too. Kayla, for instance. With her boobs. Cassidy refused to let herself think about Kayla.
She slid off her ten-speed and walked it across the street where the awnings created deep shadow. He couldn’t see her now, but through the window she could see him perfectly. He and his friends were shooting pool. For a moment she just stood there taking it in, the lazy dangerous strength of his body as he lined up a shot, his easy smile, the way his forearms rippled beneath the rolled-up shirt sleeves. And despite her earlier contentment, a wave of desire crashed over her so fiercely, her knees went weak.

An
avid writer of fiction, nonfiction, poetry and short stories, Stacey
doesn’t own a television, but reads compulsively—and would, in
fact, go stark raving bonkers without books, which are crammed into
all corners of the house. She now lives in Civita Castellana, a
medieval village in Italy that sits atop a cliff, and spends
her days writing in a nearby abandoned 12th century church.
The
two things she is most proud of are her ability to cook pasta alla
genovese without burning down the kitchen and swearing volubly
in Italian with all the appropriate hand gestures.
